Content

I like Pluto, but I don't understand why you play the same 10 shows and movies on EVERY channel, every day? It's so frustrating to very rarely see new content. Please try and update your choices.

This streaming service is crazy

This streaming service is crazy! I can’t even watch 5 minutes of the movie without an insane amount of ads. I can honestly say I watched more ads than anything’s and it wasn’t just one it would be 4 to 6 of the same ads on repeat every 5 minutes. 10/10 would NOT recommend!
Thank you

Way too many ads

Way too many ads. Like holy shit! I can’t watch a 1.5 hour movie in 2.5 hours! Absolutely terrible! Pluto tv actually pisses me off. I hope they go bankrupt and dissolve their company.

Freezes during commercial break.

Every time a commercial starts, it freezes and I have to change channels and come back to the channel I was watching. Then I see a completely different commercial.
This happens three or four times during commercial break. This started way back in November 2025, and still happening, we're in February 2026.

We “PAY” for this service by watching advertisements that sponsors pay Pluto for, on our behalf. So, fix the app. And STOP show incredibly inappropriate commercials on G rated channels. Terrible app. Pluto should be ashamed, and Apple should step in and suspend it until it works up to standard .

Intolerable programming and operability

Pluto is exhausting and insufferable. The constant freeze frames, program stopping and jittery. The erratic and chaotic behavior of this medium will test your patience and sanity.
After years of viewing, my loyalty has expired.
I’m deleting the app from my phone and TV, closing account and switching to Tubi.

Free service isn't worth the price

At free, this app/service is not worth it. The picture is constantly stopping/stuttering, with blackouts lasting minutes. Even the sound on their commercials in the app makes it seem like the actors are talking under water. While I haven't experienced channel changes, I have experienced the channel start playing even when paused. The interface is difficult to use - the app always takes me back to the same show, on the same channel and one that I never watch, instead of the channel or on demand video I was watching. All in all, I would never pay for this garbage.

From a Great App to a Poor Advertising App

I would have given this channel a 5 star in the past. However now it is becoming nothing but repeated commercials—nine at one time? Really? I realize it is a free station, but free tv isn’t this bad. And now I have to go through a bunch of channels to get to what I want to watch. Their changes are NOT for the better. And their streaming service has deteriorated as well. I don’t recommend. Sad something good has gotten so bad.

Awful

What a rip off !!!
I wouldn’t mind the ridiculous amount of adds if the choice of programmes wasn’t so terrible.
Pluto TV wasn’t too bad until the new owners took over and then deleted so many programmes and replaced anything half decent with utter rubbish.

If i could give less than 1 star I would, I can never enjoy a show without it freezing, the controls such as rewind take forever, i find sometimes if I rewind a bit then hit play, it’ll go past, it took me 42 minutes to watch 26 min of show.. Its simply bad
